The Systems, Power and Energy Research Division comprises a broad base of engineering led research. The groups within the SP&E Division are tackling problems in many highly strategic and challenging areas of research across the whole range from blue-skies to strongly industrially focussed.

The SP&E Division has close links with the other research divisions in the School of Engineering and to many other groupings across the University, other academic institutions and industries, in the UK and internationally. The research is highly interdisciplinary with many collaborations in energy, space systems, healthcare, bioengineering, nanotechnologies and automotive engineering.
